18 Claims. ('Cl. 317-197) This invention pertains to electromagnetic relays of the rocking armature type, and especially, but not by limitation, to the smaller varieties thereof classified as miniature and subminiature relays.

The disclosure afiords a relay of the class described characterized by the provision of a composite armature consisting of diametrically crossed armature pieces with peculiarly offset limbs affording a plurality of offset pole faces symmetrically arranged about a central pivot axis and each cooperating with a corresponding stationary pole face for movement relative to the latter in a diagonal relationship in which the planes containing the working faces of the armature pole and the stationary pole are parallel to the pivotal axis, in contradistinction to prior types of diagonal-moving armatures in which the planes containing the pole faces are variously situated at acute angles to the armature axis thereby providing in the new diagonal construction substantial advantages more fully pointed out hereinafter.

The novel composite armature structure is further characterized by the provision of interfitting bearing notch formations thereon whereby the several crossed armature members are individually borne on a common bearing means with one, two, or three degrees of freedom.

Still another feature is the provision of a novel core structure consisting of several individual pole members nested together in the bore of the coil bobbin so as to afford an air exhaust path, spaced working poles, and an economically assembled magnetic coil structure.

, Additional objects relate to the provision of an armature subassembly consisting of the above-mentioned composite armature means Working according to the prescribed diagonal principles at higher efficiencies, and so contrived that the armature can be worked as a single armature or as two armatures depending upon the appertaining air gap and spring tension parameters, so that different operating currents in a single coil will actuate the system accordingly; together with the provision of the improved coil means as another subassembly adapted to be conjoined with the first subassembly economically to provide a hermetically sealed relay, for example of the subminiature type, which can be worked as a single fourpole double-throw relay, or differentially as two two-pole double-throw relays from a single coil.

In the sectional view of Fig. 1, the relay comprises a metal base 15 in which the required number of contact pins 45, 46, etc. are embedded in insulation seals.

Secured on said base is a compact armature and contact subassembly generally indicated at 16 and shown in top plan view in Fig. 3.

Situated above the armature subassembly is another subassembly including coil 17 on bobbin 18 having a square bore 18A (Fig. 6) in which is inserted a composite pole assembly consisting of four identical members 19 (Figs. 1, 2, and 6) each having a long leg portion 19A terminating at its lower end in a peculiarly offset salient pole piece 19P. The legs of the four identical ole components are assembled in such manner that in oss section they define a square array, as in Fig. 6, with a central exhaust passage 19W (Fig. 1 also) traversing the entire longitudinal extent thereof and issuing at the upper exposed end region 19X thereof. In the final stages of manufacture the relay canister may be substantially exhausted of air and the open end 19WX suitably sealed off.

The lower ofiset end portions or salient pole pieces 19? lie in a somewhat squared array (Figs. 2 and 6) in the sense that each pole falls substantially at the corner of a square configuration and in plan view (Fig. 3) gives somewhat the appearance of a swastika.

Connection to the coil 17 is established through the medium of a pair of pendant contact presser springs 17A (Figs. 2, 8, and 9), which are crimped upon pendant insulating lugs 17B projecting integrally from the lower face of the bobbin 18, the terminal wires (not seen) from the coil 17 being soldered to said springs, and the latter being firmly slidably engaged by corresponding contact pins carried on base 15, as depicted in Figs. 8 and 9, when the two subassemblies are brought together.

Of great importance to the success of the instrument is the composite armature structure which consists essentially of two elongated members 24 and 25 of highly permeable metal, each having the peculiar reversely offset end portions 24Z, 25Z of L-shape (seen in Figs. 5 and 10), the angular characteristics of which, in respects to be pointed out hereinafter, are of considerable importance to the efficient operation of the device.

Referring to Fig. 10, it will be observed that the two offset armature members are alike in symmetry, and that both have tapered bearing slots 24A, 25A (Fig. 11 also), the former of which is on the lower edge, while the latter is on the upper edge, in consequence of which these two long notch portions can be interfitted to join the two members in the diametric array shown, for example, in Fig. 4, the slots being dimensioned so that in such assembled condition (per Figs. 3 and 11) the two members 24 and 25 can move independently relative to each other, and jointly as a single armature, the independent movements being pivotal and also lateral relative to the common pivotal axis. These members also have a further limited freedom to shift axially up and down along said axis; and while these relative motions are all of slight degree, being in the order of a few thousandths of an inch, depending upon the size of relay and operating characteristics required, they are nevertheless deliberately contrived as important functional parameters of the new structure, as will more fully appear hereafter.

Bearing means to support the armature include an upward stud embossment 15X on the upper face of the base member (Fig. 1) and a downward embossment 31 on a bronze bearing strap 30 (Figs. 1 and 3), which has offset legs 32 seating upon and pinned to the base, as at 33, the two uppermost edges of both armature members being relieved or cut away, as shown, to clear this strap in the aforesaid several possible movements of which the armature pieces are capable.

On the edge of each armature member opposite its tapered bearing slot there is provided a smaller bearing notch 2413 or 258 (Fig. 13); and at the mouth of each of said tapered slots 24A or 25A there is provided a similarly dimensioned small complementary bearing notch 24C or 25C of such character that when the armature pieces are interfitted (Figs. 11 and 12) the upper complementary bearing notch 24C of one will be juxtaposed with the lower bearing notch 25B of the other, and so on, whereby to define upper and lower bearing seats for the aforesaid bearing embossments or studs 15X and 31 in the assembled condition depicted in Fig. 1, each said seat thus affording four discontinuous sides or points of bearing contact with the corresponding bearing stud, as depicted in Fig. 12.

Thus, the assembled armature members 24, 25 may pivot joi y about the pivotal axis through the bearing studs 1 and 31; they may also pivot independently about this axis owing to the long-tapered-notch interfit and the four-point bearing seats; and finally, either armature member may rock somewhat laterally of said axis in a form of automatic self-adjustment in which said members seek to locate themselves according to the existing torque forces exerted by the magnetic moment on the one hand and the effort of the normal springs acting thereon, as will presently appear.

The contact system includes partially-disjoined wiping contact springs 40 (Figs. and 7) riveted, as at 41, to thin insulating wafers 42 which in turn are riveted to embossed rivet studs 43 (Fig. also) punched from each of the armature pieces 24 and 25, said springs being fabricated of very thin spring stock of optimum conductivity and each having an elongated diagonal slit to form a free end portion 40X constituting a presser finger (Figs. 5 and 7) projecting to bear in wiping action against a combination stop post and connector pin 401 projecting up through the base member 15, by means of which electrical connection is established between each of said contact springs and a corresponding contact pin.

At the bottom edge of each contact spring 40, at an end remote from the appertaining presser finger portion, isa small, U.-shaped contact shoe 44 crimped onto said edge (Figs. 5 and 7) with contacting portions exposed at bothfaces of the spring for engagement with one or the other of a corresponding pair of contact posts 45, 46 projecting upwardly and downwardly through the base 15. Joint action of the several contact springs 40 urges 4 the armature assembly into the normal position shown in Fig. 4, in which the contact shoes 44 engage corresponding posts 45; and when the relay coil is energized the armature pivots slightly clockwise to engage the shoes 44 with their off-normal contacts 46, as in Fig. 5.

Thus, in the embodiment shown, there is provided in a very minuscule assemblage, a 4-pole, double-throw contact system affording highly satisfactory contact pressures and loading effects on the armature and having good electrical characteristics. Moreover, the symmetrically balanced system obviates adjustment of the normal springs and provides an exceptionally compact subassembly construction especially suited to subminiature adaptations.

One of the very useful features of the composite armature structure arising from the independent mobility of the component members 24, 25, is the fact that the relay shown may be selectively operated as a 4-pole, double-throw switching means in the case where all of the normal springs 40 are rated alike.

However, if the pair of springs 40 belonging to either armature member 24 or 25 is made weaker or stronger than the pair belonging to the remaining said member, then a differential operating response is achieved such that by passing a first current through coil 17 of magnitude calculated to actuate the armature member having the lower spring rating will cause that member to function as a 2-pole double-throw switch; and a higher coil current will likewise cause the remaining armature member to act in the same capacity.

When the device operates as a 4-pole relay, whether or not the two armature members 24, 25 are to work jointly or severally, the tapered bearing slot is employed so that three degrees of freedom are available, and it is to be noted that in such case, the base or root portion of each tapered slot is a bearing point relative to the root portion of the other, and this is true whether the relay is operated on the aforesaid differential or as a 4-pole unit at only one value of operating current.

However, it is frequently desirable to employ the composite armature structure for 2-pole operation (not illustrated) and to omit the contact shoes and appertaining set of normal springs from one of the two members 24 or 25 to reduce both mass and loading, yet retain the benefit of the symmetrical construction and magnetic efficiency.

Accordingly, the tapered bearing slot structure of Fig. 13 is replaced by a straight slot 63 such as shown in Fig. 17 in the armature member 60. In this case the notch portions 64 have their side walls 64B, 64C formed on a radius to fit closely with the bearing studs 15X, 31 in the manner depicted diagramatically in Fig. 18, wherein portions of the two diametrically crossed armature members 60, 61 (analogously to the showing of Fig. 12) are seen in relation to the bearing stud 15X with their respective radially relieved bearing faces 60B, 61C embracing said stud, from which it will be understood that in this construction the lateral or rocking freedom of the interfitted armature members 60, 61 is eliminated, the same being unnecessary in this type of two-contact or Z-pole operation, because there is no independent movement of the several armature pieces required.

Since the highly efficient magnetic circuit includes the magnetically-permeable canister or casing 20, it may be pointed out here that when the two (coil and armature) subassemblies are brought together and fitted into the canister the latter will be sealed onto the base in the region 21 (Fig. 1) and the upper extension 19X of the salient pole legs will be peened over into tight fit upon the top of the canister, the orifice 19W being sealed whether the relay is exhausted, charged, or simply hermetically sealed.

Responsive to energization of the coil 17, the magnetic circuit will be seen to extend (describing only one of the four possible circuits with reference to Fig. 4) between the working face of any salient pole 19? across the angular primary air gap 50 to the confronting working surface (pole face) of the juxtaposed limb of one of the appertaining armature members 24 or 25, thence from the offset end pole 242 or 252 of the latter across the angular secondary air gap 51 to the confronting surface portion of the canister wall, to return through the latter to the end of the circuit at the conjoined ends 19X of the field or salient pole members 19.

It will be understood, therefore, that two working air gaps (e.g. 50, 51) are thus provided for each limb of the composite armature structure, and it will be demonstrated hereinafter that certain important technical advantages derive from this arrangement.

In general, the primary working poles (involving the primary air gaps 50) in each set consists of the salient poles 19P and the confronting working faces on the appertaining armature limbs, while the corresponding secondary working poles (involving the secondary gaps 51) in each instance consist of the corresponding offset end pole portions 242 or 25Z and their respectively confronting wall portions of the permeable canister 20.

In addition to the foregoing novel structural features relating to the subassemblies, the composite armature and the bearing means therefor making possible economies and advantages in manufacture of such relays, and additionally providing a multiple-contact system capable of selective actuation by differential operating currents through a single operating winding, the disclosure affords improvements in the magnetic circuit by providing a multiple air-gap system in conjunction with a diagonally-moving armature system in which the working pole faces lie in planes which are parallel to the pivotal axis; by reason of which it becomes possible to have the several air gaps in any particular magnetic circuit work at good efiiciency because an optimum value can be found for the lengths of air gaps in such a system in accordance with the teachings to follow.

In a construction of the type described, the length of the air gap between any pair of working faces of the appertaining stationary and moving pole members (that is, those pairs involving respectively primary and secondary gaps 50, 51 as aforesaid) will have certain optimum values, and while the primary gaps 50 are alike as to length with respect to each other, and the secondary gaps 51 are likewise of an equal length with respect to each other, the primary gaps 50 are nevertheless different in length from the secondary gaps 51.

In one embodiment of a subminiature type relay, for instance, the angular displacement of the composite armature assembly is of the order of four to five degrees, from which it will be apparent that the moving pole faces defining the secondary gaps being radially more remote from the pivotal axis and the primary pole faces, will necessarily travel through a relatively greater distance.

The principle of the new parallel-to-axis diagonal system as compared to the old acute-angle diagonal system is illustrated with reference to Figs. 14 and 15, the latter depicting one of the new armature members 24 with its pivotal axis indicated at I, while the working face of one of the stationary or salient poles 19P is shown to lie in the dotted-line plane II and the coacting pole face area of the juxtaposed armature limb lies in the plane III, it being observed that either of the pole-face planes II or III is parallel to the axis I.

Likewise, the plane IV containing pole member 242 and plane V containing the juxtaposed working face of the canister 20 are also parallel to the axis I.

In contradistinction, the old acute-angle diagonal system illustrated with reference to Fig. 14 shows the pivotal axis I-a cutting the planes II-a and III-a of the stationary pole P and armature A at acute angles.

The optimum value of air gap for an angularly displaced armature member, for instance one moving diagonally in accordance with the parallel-to-axis principles mentioned in view of Fig. 15, is to be found according to the methods now explained with reference to the force diagram in Fig. 16, wherein the armature piece 24 is to 6 be taken as moving in the direction of the fletched arrow toward the stationary pole face 19P, the actual gap distance for which is represented as the value 32, and the effective gap value for which is represented as the value d as follows:

The actual attractive force of the flux acts normally to the planes of the pole faces in the direction of the force arrow F while the resultant or effective attractive force acts in the direction of the arrow F from which it is found that the resultant force F is a function of the product of the sine of the angle a, which the moving pole face 24 makes with the direction of actual movement of the'armature along the effective force com ponent F and the value of the actual force F expressed simply as:

(l) F =F sin a The value of F is now expressed as:

1t 2 zC'( Sin a+zRi sma where:

ER is the sum of the air gap reluctances; 2R is the sum of the iron reluctances; t is the air gapleakage factor and is calculated as:

where p is the periphery around the pole surface;

g is the air gap distance;

k is a constant usually lying between 2 and 3; and A is the pole surface area The optimum value of the working angle a is found from the differential quotient:

dF which yields the result:

a 21E L (4) Sm 2124 ip 1 It is understood that the optimum value of sin a, aforesaid, is assumed to be greater than zero and equal to or less than for purposes of calculation.

Thus the Expression 4 above becomes the general formula for calculating the optimum value of the sine of the working angle a, from which the value of the angle itself, and hence of the optimum length of the air gap, becomes at once available.

In a multiple air gap system such as described, involving a series of gaps such as 50, 51, the primary gaps 50 are calculated first and then the secondary gaps are calculated and any adjustment in value which becomes necessary can be made in the latter by changing the area of their Working pole faces without upsetting the other factors for the primary gap calculation.

By making the secondary gaps larger than the primary gaps their optimum angle value becomes larger and a larger pole surface area is required to produce the optimum value sought. Manipulation of the secondary pole surface area is found to be generally a convenient factor to vary, once the optimum value for the primary gaps has been decided upon.

In Fig. 14 the normal pull axis is seen to lie at an acute angle to the pivot axis I-a, while in Fig. 16 the normal pull axis is P and the resultant pull force acts along the axis of F In the latter case the angle a is the optimum working angle between the moving pole face of 24 and the effective pull axis F It should be understood also that there can be an optimum working angle for the old acute-angle diagonal systern, and that this angle can be found by the methods described above and application of Formula 4.
